Civil Year

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or year:

    When civil fury first grew high,
    And men fell out, they knew not why;
    When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
    Set folks together by the ears,
    And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
    For Dame Religion, as for punk;
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
